6 Kingdoms of Life

1
6 Kingdoms of Life
2
All organisms are classified into one of the
following 6 kingdoms.
Archaebacteria bacteria that live in harsh
conditions
Eubacteria bacteria that live in normal
conditions
Protista organisms made of one eukaryotic cell
Fungi mushrooms and molds
Plantae all plants including trees, bushes, and
flowers
Animalia all animals including insects
3

• The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based
  on 3 factors
• 1. Cell Type
• 2. Cell Number
• 3. Feeding Type

Notice these are three of the categories at the
top of your chart.
4

• 1. Cell Type- The presence or absence of a
  nucleus.

Prokaryotes (NO nucleus) Eukaryotes (DO
carry a nucleus)
5

• 2. Cell number - Whether the organisms exist as
  single cells or as many cells

• Unicellular- single celled organism

• Multicellular- many celled organism

6

• Unicellular

• Multicellular

7

• 3. Feeding Type - How the organisms get their
  food

• Autotroph or Producer
• Makes its own food

• Heterotroph or Consumer
• Must eat other organisms to survive

As we go through the PowerPoint Fill in the chart
with the correct information about each of the 6
kingdoms. Remember for each kingdom your want to
find
Cell Type Prokaryotic OR Eukaryotic
Cell Number Single celled OR Multi celled
Feeding Type Autotrophic OR Heterotrophic
How organisms in that kingdom are important to us

6 Kingdoms

• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia

Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
10
Archaebacteria

• Ancient bacteria-
• Live in very harsh environments

11
Eubacteria

• It is the eubacteria that most people are talking
  about when they say bacteria, because they live
  in more normal conditions like the human body or
  pond water.

12
Both Types of Bacteria

• ALL bacteria are single celled, prokaryotes so
  they are very simple organisms

13
Bacterial Locomotion

• Some bacteria have flagella or cilia for movement
• Some secrete a slime layer and ooze over surfaces
  like slugs

14
Bacterial Feeding

• Some bacteria are autotrophs and can
  photosynthesize like a plant.
• Some bacteria are heterotrophs that catch their
  food

15
Protists

• Protists include many single celled organisms,
  like slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae.

16
Protists

• There are animal-like, fungus-like, and
  plant-like protists
• Some are beneficial
• Protists are found in lakes and ponds
• Some protists can cause diseases in humans, such
  as

17
Protists Disease

• Amebic dysentery

Ameba histolytica
18
Protists Disease

• African Sleeping Sickness

 Trypanosoma
19
Protists Disease

• Malaria

Plasmodium
20
Protists Movement

• 3 types of movement
• Pseudopod (false foot)
• Flagella/cilia (hairs)
• Contractile vacuoles

21
Protists Feeding Style

• Protists can be autotrophs or heterotrophs

22
Fungi

• The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most
  important organisms.
• By breaking down dead organic material, they
  continue the cycle of nutrients through
  ecosystems.

23
Fungi

• All fungi are eukaryotic
• They may be unicellular or multicellular
• Found in wet areas

Unicellular (yeast)
Multicellular
24
Fungi
Penicillin

• Fungi can be very helpful and delicious
• Many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi

25
Fungi

• Fungi also causes a number of plant and animal
  diseases

• Athlete's Foot

26
Fungi

• Ringworm

27
Fungi Movement

• Fungi are stationary
• They have root-like structures that they use for
  attachment

28
Fungi Feeding

• All fungi are heterotrophs
• They absorb nutrients from dead organic matter

29
Plants

• All plants are multicellular organisms made of
  Eukaryotic cells that have a cell wall. They get
  food through photosynthesis so they are
  autotrophs.

30

• Mosses

31

• Liverworts Hornworts

32

• Ferns

33

• Conifers (cone bearing)
• Gymnosperms
• Oldest vascular plants

34

• Flowering plants
• Angiosperms

35

• Animalia

All animals are multicellular and made of the
more complex Eukaryotic cells. All are
heterotrophs that are capable of movement at some
point in their lives.
36

• Some important animal groups (phyla) are the

37

• Porifera sponges

38

• Cnidarians Jellyfish, corals, and other
  stingers. . . Their stinger is called a nematocyst

39

• Nematocyst

40

• Mollusks
• Octopi, squid
• Clams, oysters
• Snails, slugs

41

• Platyhelminthes (flat worms)
• Tapeworms flukes

Human liver fluke
42

• Annelids (segmented worms)
• Worms leeches

43

• Echinoderms
• Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

44

• Arthropods
• Shell fish, arachnids BUGS!

45

• Chordates
• The Chordata is the animal phylum with which
  everyone is most familiar, since it includes
  humans and other vertebrates.

46
Location
Harsh areas
Everywhere
Ponds / Lakes
Wet areas dead stuff
Forests, deserts, water
Anywhere they can get food
Kingdom Cell Type Cell Feeding Type
Archaebacteria Prokaryote Unicellular Autotroph
Eubacteria Prokaryote Unicellular Both
Protista Eukaryote Most Unicellular Both
Fungi Eukaryote both Heterotroph
Plantae Eukaryote Multicellular Autotroph
Animalia Eukaryote Multicellular Heterotroph

Now That you are familiar with the 6 Kingdoms of
Life, complete your thinking map by putting the
title of the kingdom and some illustrated
examples of organisms that belong to that
kingdom in each box.
